Does it annoy anyone else when they refer to a ZCP M3 as M3 Competition, or call the M2c a “comp pack”?
Semantics I know but still annoying. 🤣 |

IMO, they should retune the m2c to the regular m3/m4 tune and see what happens. I'm not saying to do an aftermarket tune...but to just allow the m2c to not be detuned.

A lot of people like the power delivery of the M2C more than the m3/4, it would definitely be nice not to take the 50bhp hit for no reason but the linearity of the map makes drivability better.

Looks good for sure, but I don't put a lot of stock in laptimes on such a short track done on different days and different conditions.

The differences here between a lot of the cars are probably within margin of error. |

You're probably right overall but I'm excited to see the M2 Comp in the same ballpark and kicking ass |

If laptimes is not your thing I understand. But comparing cars by quarter mile times is a) boring b)inaccurate as well, so is there any substitute? Cheers Robin |

In the UK it's called M2 Competition 'officially' as well: https://www.bmw.co.uk/bmw-cars/bmw-m...m2-competition Cheers Robin |

The M2 comp or competition and the M5c are completely different models and are not packages added to the original M2 or M5. So to call an M2c a comp package or competition package is not accurate. Also to call an M3 with ZCP an “M3 competition” is not accurate. But who cares only nerds like us do. |

To get a real picture of the performance I think you need data from many sources to compare. There are always a few outliers. |

A setup of Cup 2 tires would really help the M2C. There is tremendous loss of traction with the M2C, which really hurts its time I would imagine.

This is one of the biggest truths of the M2 series. The M4 has 255/35 and 275/35 tires and the M4 Comp pack have 265/30 and 285/30 tires. I think they wanted to make the M2C "playful", and that it is. Mount some meatier, stickier tires on the M2C and watch the track times go way down.

So there is a 0.04 difference inbetween 4 cars. This can literally be different any day of the week. To say it's "faster" I think is a bit of an exaggeration. Basically all 4 cars perform pretty equally on the track imo.
